Provincial Tax and Form Changes

We will review the changes to tax rates and tax credits relevant to your province. For clients that prepare returns for taxpayers in other provinces or that have income from multiple jurisdictions, our comprehensive seminar guide will include details on the changes made in all provinces.

Note that as there may be significantly more provincial changes to discuss in some locations rather than others, the length of time devoted to certain featured topics listed below may be adjusted accordingly.

TaxprepConnect

The ability to download virtually all T-slips has been a game-changer for T1 return preparation. During the seminar, we'll look at changes being made for 2017, including a new form for reconciling downloaded T5008 data to broker reports and changes to the CONNECT T3 Reconciliation form. And we'll review best practices for dealing with the downloaded data.

Preparing Returns for Separated and Divorced Taxpayers

Given that almost 40% of marriages in Canada end in divorce, every tax practitioner has had to prepare returns for a taxpayer that is separated or divorced. During the seminar, we will review how these returns are handled in Personal Taxprep, including specific fields in the Family Profile, entering support and modifying personal tax credits as well as some practical tips for preparing these returns.

Filing Adjustments and Post-Assessment Review

In addition, we'll review what happens after tax season, including discussing the options for requesting adjustments to a return. And we will explore how to deal with post-assessment reviews, including identifying the most common post-assessment review requests, what documents will be needed, responding to requests and tips for anticipating which clients will be targeted.
